hello

i am looking at build a basic server with a Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2 @ 3.5Ghz. i have looked all over Intel's site to see if this CPU supports the following.

Supports NX and DEP

Supports CMPXCHG16b, LAHF/SAHF, and PrefetchW

Supports Second Level Address Translation (EPT or NPT) .... as i am wanting to use windows 2016 server essentials with it.

Any help would be appreciated.
